First Rim purchase... Need help on offsets.
One of my close friends offered me an insane deal on his rims. There 5-zigen pro racer GN's powder coated. The sizes are 17 x 8.5 +10 front and 17 x 9.5 + 22 in the rear. He says they work on Fc's but will they fit the FD. I've searched about offsets but I'm still weary as I always hear of way bigger numbers on the FD.

+ all the labor and 52k original miles... I just can't.I'll find you a top gear quote that states it perfectly, why I don't like new cars.

The tire sizes are 225/45/17 up front and 255/45/17 in the rear and the front is +12 not plus 10 even though I'm sure that doesn't make a difference.

As far as the rears go will they have to be rolled? I don't mind 
Only thing I'm worried about is inner wheel rub with the inner wheel wells. I have super angle tie rods and the wheel cut is pretty steep.

You'll definitely need to roll the fenders, if not give them a little pull. Most of that will depend on how much camber you can dial in and how skinny of a tire you use to "make it fit".
